So, since last year, I’ve known that the “Bachelor of Heaven” shoot will not return to the normal location in Sassulita, Mexico. The hotel was sold to others and basically already knew it hadn’t returned there. There are rumors about the Dominican Republic and other locations that it is its, but I really feel like they want to keep it on the West Coast, probably just in a different location in Mexico. Yesterday, I was able to confirm that this was true. This Bip season will be Costa Sur Resort and Spa In Puerto Valata, Mexico. Since there is no “Bachelor” season this year, the shooting will be a month earlier than usual. Typically, BIP shoots for 3 weeks in June, but hears it will be shot in May this year. We don’t know any other details about how the show format will change, if any. All we know is that there is a new performer who has never worked in a franchise before. So until the filming actually happened, since this franchise is not transparent about anything they do, I highly doubt we will hear anything in format before we start production.
Can’t wait for everyone to hear tomorrow’s weekly podcast guest, Lauren O’Brien of “Love Is the Blind” Season 8. Our interview was about 50 minutes and I tried to follow her experience on the show: Pods, Honduras, Minnesota, and then what happened during the airing. The entire interview is just Dave’s experience on the show aired before the finale, and we don’t really talk about any other couples, outside of the time Dave was with Molly in the pod. Such a good interview, I can’t wait for you to hear. While I believe almost all social media is on her side in Dave’s relationship (well, except for at least one of her sloppy brags), it’s still a pleasure to hear her explain everything from beginning to end. The finale aired Friday (in fact she attended one of the weddings) and then aired on Friday party.
Reader emails start now…

Steve,
Not really keeping up with Grant’s season, just listened to your column. But the double standards surrounding the contestants confused me. I’m replying to a reader email that says “Day Trader” is the code that is unemployed. ”
Theresa Nist is a day trader, but she hasn’t received criticism at all because she is a woman and loves her. That’s “Go to the girl boss get that bag!” People criticized Gerry because they thought he just wanted her money. So clear that even if it could be Skeevy, Day Trading is “real work”.
However, Grant, because he is a man, the hateful audience is projecting at him and calling him unemployed? If you’re going to criticize Grant for anything, criticize him for releasing a cringe single on the premiere night.
Comment: People always find something to hate. Do you think if Joey was a day trader, would that cause the same response? In a word – No.
__________________________
I think Grant has to decide whether he wants to break up or propose first, and that’s what he can’t decide. Remember Jesse’s season? The winner is first! I don’t think he really won’t tear apart between the two.
Comment: Grant is clear in all post-show interviews, and more important than anything else, it’s edited more. He is not saying that this is special, but reading two lines in his answer, you can say.

I did a West Wing tour at the end of the Obama era and one thing I noticed was that people didn’t know Clinton was cheating with Monica. This is a very old building with very narrow corridors, small rooms and not very reliable.
Comment: I can imagine. But in the era of social media at that time, if it were then, it might have been discovered very quickly.

You’re talking about Temptation Island finally coming back this month, but have you seen Valley give up a bunch of (new) episodes too?
I know you were one of the many people who had Vanderpu last season after Scandoval and got hooked on the valley…
You will also watch this season, or are there too many things to keep up with these days? ! ?
Comment: Yes, I’ll definitely see the valley, but as far as I know, they haven’t given a release date for Season 2. We only know it is coming. Everything we get in the mini trailer, but this isn’t even a cut of this season. It’s just solo shots of all the characters, and I think we have a voice about what we’ve said this season. Unless I missed something.

Hi Steve!
I have a problem with your next reader email batching! I was catching up with Grant’s season and noticed that they didn’t show bragging or “easy moments” at the end of each episode. I think they have done it in recent seasons, but maybe I’m totally wrong and haven’t done it in a while? I might lose my mind?
Anyway, I’ve been looking forward to that small segment and am disappointed that it’s cut. Any insights into why or will like your thoughts about this segment. Thank you for everything
Comment: You are right. It was definitely not finished this season, but I don’t remember when they stopped doing it, or the first season. I think I remember seeing bragging during Joey’s season, don’t I?

Hi Steve!
I wonder if you know where they are for their homeland, city and theaters? It looks like Chicago, it looks like a Chicago-area theater, but I don’t quite understand.
As always, thank you very much for your podcast!
Comment: They show it is Los Angeles. Not to mention when Grant talked to Joey, they said the Rose Ritual was that night and they clearly indicated they were in a place in Los Angeles. As for the theater, I don’t remember its name, but I know this is the theater they used to date several times on this show before.

Hi Steve –
For some reason, I found it interesting to have both you and Courtney locked their own “Carolina” pronunciation on the podcast. I agree with your pronunciation. I don’t think I noticed how she pronounced it, but looking at this season, I know that all women have announced its “Caro-Lena”. So I assume that’s it.
It’s great to hear that you found Lauren on this week’s podcast. I feel like Dave is trying to last a long time on the show and come up with some excuses to get it out. I wonder if there is a benefit for her friend to try to undermine the relationship. One experiment I want to see in a future season is that in the Revelation, couples who work with the pods with sketch artists will see what they imagined each other. This may help inspire the drama and make the audience aware of whether they feel physically attractive. I’m glad that Lauren has done a lot of interviews so far and I don’t think she has had a longer conversation with anyone. The interview was about 50 minutes, and I tried to do it in the order of time she was on the show: Pods, Honduras, Minnesota, and then what happened during the airing process. Can’t wait for everyone to hear it.
Cobra Kai – Spoiler Focus: While we like a happy ending, I feel Silver, Teacher Wolf and Iron Dragon are stripped of. I don’t have a Sekai Taikai Rule Book but think 1) Cobra Kai/Tory should be disqualified because her Dojo and Sensei are not showing up. 2) Johnny and Miguel should not enter Cobra Kai like Myagi, and Miguel competed in Myagi’s competition. It’s fun to see Mr. Myagi come back, but it may not be a good thing for the actors in the future. Man, now you make me question my sanity. Do I have any ideas about the ending of Cobra Kai? I thought I did talk about it in my daily roundup, but maybe not. My short answer is, I like it, but so to speak. Or I hope there is a better reason behind the things behind. Yes, I understand it’s a TV show, but I love that TV shows make sense. Like, I know Tory and Miguel will win, but the way they built Zara in Barcelona, she is basically a machine. She then led the Conservatives 5-0 after the first round. I need a good reason because suddenly, not only did Tory come back, but definitely kicked her ass to the point where she won with a 20-point victory, except that her boyfriend told her he loved her and kissed her between rounds and was closer to Cobra. Is that true? Zara literally can’t see her score.
As for Johnny, we know again that when they declared for the draw, he will win and the teacher must fight each other. Yes, this is where you have to doubt it. When we first saw Sensei Wolf, he literally killed a man with his bare hands. Now, do we hope he will lose him because someone 60 and 20 years older than him? I think I’m picking. Because I still like this show.
If measles is part of Texas, I want you to get the vaccine.
Comment: As far as I know, this is not with me.

Hi Steve!
Have you noticed that Matt James is just disable on Instagram? I just noticed today… He has been exaggerating and his followers are declining every day. .Do you think he will reactivate? I guess he is a toddler who doesn’t like being treated badly by him. He stopped me (I didn’t know until the breakup happened), so I didn’t know.
Hey, do you think Rachael K will get his bachelor’s degree in Paradise? I would seriously doubt it.
What was surprised that Dina’s family didn’t agree to appear when they were dating in their hometown? It really has any effect, or is it that Dina comes home after her hometown, even if they show up to meet him? I remember some other families refused to show up on the camera – sure I knew Melissa Rycroft’s parents chose not to attend.
Thank you for your efforts to destroy the season.. Worth it!
Comment: According to Grant, he said her family was not there and had nothing to do with the reason he sent her home. I heard that after being recorded by WTA, he interviewed additional interviews.
